Give your campaign a name.
Under the Configure tab, provide all the necessary details like Campaign Name, Subscription Type, Sender Name and Email Address.

Enable the Reply Tracking toggle. When you enable the toggle, the replies to your campaign will be forwarded to the Reply-To address that you have mentioned in the previous step.
Continue setting up the campaign by specifying the recipients, subject line, preheader, and footer details.

To configure reply tracking in your marketing journeys,
Click on the Marketing Journeys at the left hand pane and create a new journey.
Set up the trigger and action. For reference, we have used the ‘Added to List’ trigger and ‘Send Email’ action.
The reply tracking toggle will be available at the send email blocks in your journey. You will be able to enable/disable the ‘Reply Tracking’ toggle even when the journey is active. The tracking will be active/inactive only for the contacts that enter the block after the switch is made.
4) You can further add actions to your journey based on the replies from the email(s) that you have sent. Example: On reply send a follow up email.
